And when you've gone through the list, check it again and pick a favorite. You will have a favorite, but you may not know that right away. 

Not that you asked but I have two favorites (my blog, my rules): "90% of everything is crap. If you think you don’t like opera, romance novels, TikTok, country music, vegan food, NFTs, keep trying to see if you can find the 10% that is not crap." And this one: "Don't believe everything you think you believe."
